and active, and under the impetus Of foreign
buying orders our market was higher and
strong. Tie c'ques took advantage OF this
movement to unload to certain extent, while
there was considerable covering Of shorts at the
same time. The result was a somewhat fever
ish and unsettled market until later IN the
day, when the buying became more General,
nnd more decidedly firm tone IS impaired

The opening was strong at advances ranging
up to y per cent. tho latter in Louisville aud
Nashville. There was gu active trading with
Reading END Omaha as most prominent
strong, the general list yielded fractional
amounts. Later Jersey Central and Wheeling
and Lake Erie became strong, and the general
covered before noon. A buoyant tone marked
the dealings in the afternoon, and New Eng.

and Western preferred Joined the strong and
active stocke. There was again fractional
reaction, but the market closed about steady,
close to the opening figures.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
HOW THE SCIENCE OF NIk.DICINE

professional Ethics" Worse Than
Eastern Caste-A Letter From q
Physician Who Follows the
"Schocl," But Prefers Hu-
manity to "Profes-
sional Ethics"

While the medical profession has made
great progress within the century, 1t is an ac-
knowledged fact that that progress has not
be been IN as great as that made In other sciences.
This is undoubtedly due to that inhibition the
profession has laid on itself, and known as
professional ethics" There ought to be but
one school Of medicine and they should en-
brace every known medicine and treatment.
That such Is not the case Ia seen in the exist
ence Of the allopathic, homeopathic, and the
eclectic schools These differences are due to
school from following the practice of another.
professional ethics is akin to caste in the
eastern countries, deadly enemy to progress.
occasionally, however, physician is found
ethics, and comes out tlat-footed for the peo-
pie and the proprietary. medicine that will
cure sufferers without the help Of doctor.
An example of such man is DR.. j. n. Cheney,
Of Ellaville. Schley county, Ga. He and his
partner have, by all odds, the largest practice
In the county. So high does DR.. Cheney stand
that he has been elected Clerk Of the Superior
Court for nine consecutive times, and he holds
that office today. That he is a man worthy
OF confidence. the public is authorized to seek
knowledge Of his character from any promi-
nent public man in Georgia. from Gov. Cor

sulting any one Of the officials suggested.

SALEM, Va, July 19.-The residence
of Captain 7. A. Roberts consists OF a
large, handsome frame building, stu
ated on Main street, and was the scene
this morning Of the coolest and boldest
burglary that ever occurred in this sec
ton of the State. About 2 o'clock the
burglars gained admission by cutting
the Stats OF the front blindsand uniasten-
ing and raising the window: The whole
family slept upstairs. The burglars
possessed themselves with one OF the
hall lamps, and, after visiting each
room and chloroforming. all the IN
mates, deliberately set to work to rifle
the house of everything that could be
converted into money. The Captain,
as a precaution. puts his pants under
his pillow every night, but after the
administering Of the chloroform his
pants were easily extracted, and his
rockets were relieved of all their con-
tents. Among other things two val
liable watches were taken. The bur
glars took a bottle of splendid whlskey,
went to the dining-room, and had a
royal feast over their whiskey and a
well-fillod larder. There is no clue
whatever as to who the guilty ones are.
